Inspired by the quiet beauty of the Southwest Desert, the design concept for this nine home subdivision creates a feeling of escape and privacy in the center of town. Located in the Old Ft. Lowell neighborhood, a distinguished historic district in Tucson, this project draws upon a rich legacy of Sonoran Desert design (i.e. passive solar techniques, masonry walls, metal roofs) to create a rapport between nature and home that belies the urban location of the site.

The desert homes of Canciones are arranged along a quiet, tree-lined road which winds it’s way back to a landscaped island cul-de-sac. Units are staggered to give each unit a mountain view while creating privacy for each home.

Canciones incorporates materials and colors unique to the desert, creating a lifestyle centered on landscaped courtyards, naturally lit interiors, and delicately positioned views of the striking Santa Catalina mountain range.
